Agents of SHIELD now completing release tasks

There’s always a price for being first out of the gate on a new venture,
and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may make some mistakes and get some ridicule.
But things will get better (for what that’s worth, to you), and will perhaps continue to get better.
So let’s dust away the past and look to the future…

News  10/12/14

Development

Full time development expected to start Oct 31.
Road map release underdevelopment, also expected Oct 31.

Good luck the new Shieldcoin team! I wish you luck and am a follower and supporter of your vision!

[razor301]

good. relaunch shieldcoin. 

[jm0]

looks forward to sheildcoin, lets get it moving!

[razor301]

just an estimate we will be a few weeks to get the dev team together, and their identities to work in our team. 

Why are we using a newbie account to the topic admin? 

We have two project managers, so we need to share, there is also more to this but let us please get our stuff organized before we can really show our commitment.

I felt the need to at least create the topic as the community was demanding it, next we will really revamp the www site, and then logo / coin emblem.

Our road map is that of re-launching, we give you this news, and will continue to update you with the progress of the development of forming our team together.

thank you for the support !

[cryptopumpas]

This looks nice!
when the wallet works iam in, enjoy:D

[RickStoner]

The wallet works!

[darkproton]

The wallet works!

Works great. Been staking for a while.

[RickStoner]

If anyone would like to join our team, there is many areas that we can use assistance with.

It looks like we might actually go with 3 coding teams, 1 team is all android and iOS app developers, this company is founded near where I live, so communication with be easy.  Another team consist of bright new minds in programming, fresh out of University and some are still studying their computer science degree, the most amount of work is going to be put on them.  The third group is specializing in synchronization programming on an industrial scale.

We have a lot of talent for our project, putting them all to work, and most 'in their spare time' will take a bit of time, we are targeting Oct 31, 2014 to be our Official, team unveil and road map relaunch date.

[RickStoner]

CryptoAsian / POD has finally contacted us.  Interviews expected to take a few weeks, due to the number of people involved in the SHIELD project.

[darkproton]

CryptoAsian / POD has finally contacted us.  Interviews expected to take a few weeks, due to the number of people involved in the SHIELD project.

Once a flow structure is firmly in place, I would like to donate to this project, in shield of course, to some combo of devs/coordinators or future projects. I hope that the devs and all involved are smart enough to pick up some cheap shield on trex; I am doing so.  I am very excited for the renewal and all the work that is going into it as well!

[cryptopumpas]

Wallet is not working for me. can someone help?

[RickStoner]

got a delisting warning from bittrex

 This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on Sept 26th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.1 BTC

I'll do my part to keep it active.

0.1 btctrade volume   is easy

[tiredofscams]

Looking at the last weeks development I'm glad to see this coin is getting a sequel, but I'm afraid it is losing momentum as so far we mainly had words and more words.

It would really help doing a POD and to my knowledge can be done in a couple of days easily, although to be honest POD with CriptoAsian doesn't mean much, several scams and missing devs (no word from them for two weeks) already with full POD on some other coins.

Well, will keep staking my small pile and hopefully something will come out of it.

[cryptopumpas]

it works now, but we need a link that works for everyone(walletdownload) on frontpage
after that we can make the coin better.

[darkproton]

gnomegawd please check your pm. I pmed you important information in regards to shield.

[Camus]

omg,it is in danger market ,bittrex i have a lot of SHLD,where i am going?

[Camus]

i worried there is no people pay attention on this coin!

[darkproton]

i worried there is no people pay attention on this coin!

Do not worry. There may not be many who watch this coin, but there are good ones who do.

We are not allowed to do POD until we have GIT control, this was expressed by CryptAsian.  Sorry I didn't update or inform you of this fact earlier.

not to mention volunteer work, many areas of organization with large team. having hopeful words, from yourself "I'm glad", and accusing of 'words and more words', please understand the typing involved isn't just words, it's work, and communicating with 2 devs, 2 programmers, and having my lead programmer on a vacation for the last week put us all at the mercy of how much other things I could complete this week.

The list was given, and yes I slowed down this last few days as I have been sick with the flu, goes with the territory when you have siblings in the school system, they bring back every bug your not immune to.

So, a lot of things happened today, and things can progress even further, and as we are practicing a NDA, so information is limited until approved by our general staff or veto in affect where someone isn't present.

[RickStoner]

Big news, Great news, will elaborate once I have confirmation of the subject matter.

[logocreator]

Thanks, Yes, there are simple variations.

[RickStoner]

bam, there she is. Any more variations? Perhaps simple line variations. Great logo.

Yes very good logos!

30 days sir, however; if we find an acceptable replacement earlier the contest could suddenly end.

We are aware that not many people are watching this coin, as momentum happens we should see more entries.

Did you enter in the old shield coin logo contest?

[vipgelsi]

Cheap coins up for sale now. People must be paranoid.

[RickStoner]

We now control everything SHIELD / Inc.

We need to have more time to discuss our solutions to any type of feature that shield might have or get.

No i didn't enter old coin logo contest, this is my first time posting logo for ShieldCoin.
30 days is way too much for a logo i think.

Sorry you feel this way, however; inflation in 1 month will show the award/bounty for doing the logo will be far more substantial.

4 entries are not acceptable, really doesn't give us much to choose from.

We actually already know the date, as we have set some goals already.  We are currently bound by a NDA, so until we have a meeting on our side, information will be slight and might seem disorganized.  Yes we are keeping you in the dark for the time being, until I see a productive team working at least on a weekly basis with one another, there isn't much to report in progress.

[cryptopumpas]

can i get some Proof of Stake information?

[cryptoholic11]

Patience is going to pay off big with this one. I can feel it. I want to start tweeting more about it and trolling the IRCs, but still waiting for all the developer details to be finalized and sorted out.

[RickStoner]

I agree, no extra PR would be helpful, still trying to get things together. 

More and more will happen as we have days to collaborate, I will always present some news, for investors and coin watchers.

[cryptopumpas]

dont forget to make a working wallet download link.
so people dont need to make config file

No way!!! This is great news! I can't wait to hear about the new roadmap and what plans you have in store for shield!

[RickStoner]

You know guys every now and then a "how is it going?", or a ... "update?",  or just some sorta chit chatter?

We should talk about features, brain storm this to death. Would like to hear community ideas.

[RickStoner]

POD verification complete.

This is just a tiny step towards creation of the project, on a personal note, I am not sure how 1 person dev coins even make it.

Work load is nearly unbearable, PetATL has had to double shift as one of his co-workers took sick.

[cryptoholic11]

This coin is pretty dead, not sure why you're trying to bring it back.

There are 2 separate development teams collaborating in the takeover. If they're legit, it's far from dead. It might take weeks to get back on it's feet, but it won't be dead. I used to think once devs leave, and/or the price and volume reach a certain low, then its dead to a point of no return..but over the last few weeks, Ive learned otherwise. There is no such thing as a truly dead coin, imho. Any competent dev team can revive any dead coin and prosper.

As far as Shield, the name and specs are perfect, not sure why anybody with the coding skills or networks wouldnt want to take it over. Of course it also makes sense for them to stack up on the cheap coins before announcing the takeover, which I assume and hope these guys have done.

[cryptopumpas]

guys plz, this coin is better StealthCoin (XST)
its just a shame that no one cares about SHLD!

Gl infest/pump other bullshit coins

[cryptopumpas]

read this plz:

http://www.btcfeed.net/coins/shieldcoin-shld-vs-stealthcoin-xst


http://www.btcfeed.net/coins/shieldcoin-shld-vs-stealthcoin-xst/

[cryptoholic11]

read this plz:

http://www.btcfeed.net/coins/shieldcoin-shld-vs-stealthcoin-xst


http://www.btcfeed.net/coins/shieldcoin-shld-vs-stealthcoin-xst/

These articles are worthless man. They were posted back when the original scam devs were still around with all the bullshit they had promised. The only reason the two coin were compared in the first place was because they were launched at the same time and had massive initial volume while both communities were competing for some reason. Now Shield has a totally different team and a new direction. It has nothing to do with Stealth. You can't even compare the two coins. Stealth is well established and Shield is gettin back on its feet. Nevertheless, comparing the two coins has no merit unless you're trying to covertly advertise XST on this thread.

[darkproton]

Well, as far as features go, I do not think an anon solution is a necessary thing. If it is something the devs are currently working on, then great, however, if it is not being worked on, then I believe following a different path is best suited. As far as what features I would like to see in the new shield, perhaps a very easy to implement multi-sig button on the wallet itself to create better security.
http://www.coindesk.com/early-bitcoin-adopter-calls-multi-sig-solutions-750-btc-theft/

[RickStoner]

Actually cryptoholic, these old articles do confirm that SHLD does use a stronger encryption than XST.  Not going to get in on a swinging contest here, vs any other coin.  Focus is on SHLD, and to not only strengthen the network but to also give confidence from those who invest in this coin.

[cryptopumpas]

sry what i ment was:

this coin is better then StealthCoin (XST)



Shield better then Stealth !!

[cryptopumpas]

your right only thing is we need faster development
but this is how it works:

If we all would have faith in this coin and make it populair, we get attention of more developers.

But no one assist this coin, well there are some but not many people.

I know its a old article, but if this all would happen Shield can be mutch bigger then Stealth.

I think we should infest in coins that are good and beter then the others.
developers should spend their time in the better coins like SHLD.

thats all what i wanted to say,

gl all

[RickStoner]

Well without consulting the other assistant dev, I wish to make the following statement, and sort of road map.

- analyzing of all information towards the old upset that happened to SHLD (the theoretical results of our findings will be posted)
[ plagiarism accusations were made against the old devs]

- analyzing the entire old topic of SHLD (there is many people that wanted to help in the past, this could now be a reality)
[ reading over the entire old topic of SHLD is time consuming ]

- analyzing the block chain (if there is anything is a muck we want to know now before we vamp up development)

some opinions:

You may not like the findings of our research, but to become more transparent in the development we feel it's necessary

There is some questionable things in the old operation of SHLD, it had not been mentioned by anyone. We will probably mention it.


ROAD MAP FUTURE:

These are the things we would like to see, and as we evaluated the technology that the old dev team proposed, Shield team will also attempt the following features as stated in the old white paper.

features:
- we will attempt to use SSL features this is now goal 1, it will be the first most discussed topic among the team.
- the file per - to - per is also added to the list of goals. 
- a very dedicated outline to reach these goals on or before Oct 31 2014

development:
- a website we can call our own in confidence and design
- the logo ' huge amount of research going on '

team:
- get coders to update the node install, and brand the wallet
- creation and fork of the git so see progress (no git commits expected soon)

marketing:
- get shield added to more exchanges
- working on white paper release and other ideas

working capital:
- trying to attract non btc related VC

more to come....

[cryptoholic11]

My bad, thought they were pro XST articles.

My suggestions for features would be to focus on mobile services and block chain 2.0 apps including decentralized exchange. I think these are the next evolution in crypto.

[DigitalPirateman]

I like the shieldcoin name it like marvel S.H.I.E.L.D

[RickStoner]

we have to abide copyright laws some what.

[RickStoner]

from the above quoted article:

Of course that was not enough, here comes X15. X15 is the latest algorithm ,15 ROUNDS OF SCIENTIFIC HASHING  (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo, hamsi, fugue, shabal, whirlpool). There you have it, the almighty X15, the backbone of Shieldcoin. Some may say it is overkill some may say it is evolution but both X13 and X15 are secure and efficient algorithms, yes X15 is newer but there is nothing wrong with X13.

good luck man. Seems a lot of work is going into this.

[RickStoner]

Update:

- wallet programming / features
Spoke with the assistant dev today, we discussed a few things to do with the programming of new wallet.  He said my first request was nearly impossible, we do not want centralized anything... hint hint... but we might have to unless we can come up with a algo based on a long generated key... not going into details here.

- working capital / promotion
So, currently what we have is a well distributed coin, with no bugs, wallet is working.  So, this leads us to the next few things.  Development seems to cost a fortune, and we are bartering our way with each individual.  Take note, simply encourage your friends, and yourself to at least put a few dollars, yes just dollars into SHLD.  Every time you do this it helps support the economy and keeps out large accumulations to single entities.

So what does that mean? Buy some SHLD please, best way to support development.  Did you know the average cost of mac wallet dev is 1.3 BTC!  ... neither did we ...  (we have a team in place to do this for a reason)

- finance and distribution
Darkpool distribution is top on the list, currently in meetings on this behalf.

[cryptopumpas]

this is great getting more money 15e

i say dont eat get shield!

[RickStoner]

trying to add more duties to the list

- trying to get SHLD on more exchanges.
working towards no fee exchanges especially

David states that he has some light JAVA experience, very knowledable in deployment of web environments over Linux OS’s and mentioned that he will hire developers and will oversee the coding as well as the management of hired coders. David mentions that he will be focusing his efforts in Crypto full-time and will also be assembling a team to work with him that is close in proximity.
The only work on other coins that David has been involved in is working for deaconboogie on MoonCoin as a moderator in his IRC channel. David has not created any Crypto coins and has control of the GitHub.
The best way to contact David is through the Shieldcoin Twitter: @shieldcoindevs or email colonelrickstoner@gmail.com. There has been no in person contact. David has submitted two forms of notarized documents to verify identity.

will be updating, just no need to fluff up anything, work is being done, looks like anon can be enabled easily, looking to bring something a little stronger to the table than 'another' feature.

POD 5+ but is out of Bittrex.

Expecting good news.

[tahou]

we just got delisted on bittrex.. 

[xxxgoodgirls]

we just got delisted on bittrex.. 

why? Low volumes?

[MCOnyx]

we just got delisted on bittrex.. 

why? Low volumes?

Yes Bittrex has some funny restrictions for keeping coin listed on exchange.
I can understand they want money, nothing is free, but it can't cost that much to keep wallet online.
I tried buying with what i had to keep it on exchange, but i guess it wasn't enough.

No matter, I'll transfer it to my offline wallet and wait for better days.

[jluizg]

On Twitter: @shieldcoindevs POD 5+ but delisted on Bittrex... And now??? What we do?

Do the same. Tweet to DEV. Last tweet from DEV, in September, 30th!!!

Move DEV, MOVE!

[cudido]

Remain Cryptsy https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/SHLD_BTC

[RickStoner]

Thank you for the overwhelming support.  The team at SHIELD feels the same way about Bittrex, it's little to no effect towards the progress in coin development.  Trading at cryptsy is better, there is no 500k sat barrier for trading.  SHLD is extremely undervalued at this time.  Cryptsy trading will allow smaller traders to obtain SHLD.  There is many complaints about Bittrex min trade of 500k sats, many small traders can't trade there.  Perhaps Bittrex will soon change, but not very likely.

1) Why relaunched?
2) How exactly does this coin "absorb" dying coins?

[RickStoner]

1) Why relaunched?
to create a trading environment for new crypto users without having to lose their shirts when they invest.
distribution is also good and even better running on cryptsy

2) How exactly does this coin "absorb" dying coins?

How exactly does this coin "absorb" dying coins?

what exactly do you mean?

[RickStoner]

Well on that note, a few ideas from the road map are here for you.

Shieldcoin team is working on a simplified version of the wallet, where as both advanced and simple mode will be able to be enabled.
This feature will work in conjunction with a web wallet, giving you the ability to bank coins, and withdraw coins with a 2 facto system.

anon features are coming out in many different coins, we are watching the development of these and are in contact with a few different coin devs to in hopes implement anon features.  once again the SSL tunnel is not removed from development, we may in fact try to develop this feature.

Twitter functions are being looked into, ideally we would like SHLD to be able to use the twitter network for coin transfers.

trading and volume issues were also in our day to day books, we found no other option than to have trex de list because of the abnormal coin restrictions.  With 1 million coins trading, 1000 coins per trade doesn't exactly create a good trading environment.

This coin is intended to currently support smaller numbers, and if in the future it reflects a brick and mortar stock involvement, we here at shieldcoin with all due respect, would like to hold a majority of the coins to secure development and futures.

This could be elaborated on a lot more, viability, and visibility, do we share holdings with community, do we bank holdings, in visible holdings.  Create investment stock numbers so that instead of you investing in just a coin your investing in a 'Project'.

Do the old devs hold a big bag of SHLD, which could disrupt the ideas and flow of this project.  Shieldcoin is now shielded from any wrong doings, pre-mines, injected code/blocks, or any other type of manipulation that might otherwise be possible.

This feature will work in conjunction with a web wallet, giving you the ability to bank coins, and withdraw coins with a 2 facto system.

anon features are coming out in many different coins, we are watching the development of these and are in contact with a few different coin devs to in hopes implement anon features.  once again the SSL tunnel is not removed from development, we may in fact try to develop this feature.

Twitter functions are being looked into, ideally we would like SHLD to be able to use the twitter network for coin transfers.

trading and volume issues were also in our day to day books, we found no other option than to have trex de list because of the abnormal coin restrictions.  With 1 million coins trading, 1000 coins per trade doesn't exactly create a good trading environment.

This coin is intended to currently support smaller numbers, and if in the future it reflects a brick and mortar stock involvement, we here at shieldcoin with all due respect, would like to hold a majority of the coins to secure development and futures.

This could be elaborated on a lot more, viability, and visibility, do we share holdings with community, do we bank holdings, in visible holdings.  Create investment stock numbers so that instead of you investing in just a coin your investing in a 'Project'.

Do the old devs hold a big bag of SHLD, which could disrupt the ideas and flow of this project.  Shieldcoin is now shielded from any wrong doings, pre-mines, injected code/blocks, or any other type of manipulation that might otherwise be possible.

So you can't implement anon features by you own? Smells no good!

Of course I can, but why fork the coin presently.  It looks like anon is dying off 'xst', when we can analyze all anon coin releases, while each one goes open source, and if users demand anon features to be added, the matter will be looked into in the future.

if you are not an investor in SHLD, and merely trolling topic, become an investor and there will be merit to your request.

[RickStoner]

it's also been mentioned in POD, and a few times over the forum, if we need to have something done fast, we are looking to network with other coin devs.  (this isn't a bad thing), and networking takes time.  relationships take time to build, and foundation for SHLD is being worked on.  If you look over the first release of shield, there are many questionable matters, mainly, why the last logo design, had 80+ submissions by the same person, is one question that rises.

Informed also today there is possibility of a few whales still holding many shields, however; I have been in study on the block chain for the last month, and as far as I can tell, 5 people own 50% of the shield coins, this also can be holdings in exchanges. 

Trading has been enabled on cryptsy, if you strongly believe nothing is going on with this coin, then you are not following the different stages to relaunching the coin.

This was clearly said before, the coin is working, distribution is good at best, and we have no bugs, no security problems, and no reason to attempt to fluff the coin with features that are rich over the entire crypto communities.  When something is brought to the table, if it's the same feature as another coin, it will have no big impact on SHLD or it's price.  If you want a strong future investment, grow with shield, the chances of prices crashing to the bottom now that we are already on the bottom is slight to remote.  Bittrex removing shield was a blessing, as no trading could be done there.  Bittrex is ignoring the fact that not everyone can make 500k sat trades, trex is a high roller trading site, and will be the death of it, as the wolves remove more and more new people by the pump and dumps being orchestrated, people will soon figure out their pennies are far better spent on a trading site with a long reputation. Cryptsy.

Furthermore, if you actually want to invest 1.00 or 100,000 sats, or even buy 1 or 2 shield coins, you finally can.  You couldn't do that on trex, and with only 1 million coins in distribution, min orders at trex are not able to support low count coins in crypto.

[RickStoner]

Invested once in this man, got burnt, never again sorry.

Sorry to hear that, and sorry you feel that way, a year from now we can go back to this post where you knew you could buy a shield 2 cents, and didn't have to be forced to trade 4.00 to 5.00 on the trex site as a minimum purchase.

Shield has a design and a plan for the future, this is just my 2 cents...

and you can now actually spend your 2 cents on a shield...

I think you might be confusing him with the old devs who ran off. This is a takeover project.

[razor301]

Dev, I think we should try to get into BTC38 and / or BTER. they have the china market. and the volume of transactions using huge CNY. potential for shieldcoin

mac wallet released today, looks like I can not test it, 10.4.11 OX will not work, I need 10.5, and for that matter, intel based mac, so I might be in even more trouble for testing mac releases.

if anyone could test the posted mac wallet and update if it's working for you, need to get the bounty out to the dev soon as I know.

The wallet is tested from 10.7 to 10.9!

Updates this October 23rd, 2014.

WEBSITE NEWS:

Negotiations with web dev moving extremely slow, dead line on discussions is set, and will seek other web devs if we do not get a commitment on or before the 27th.

UPCOMING FEATURES:
Things do need to get moving a little faster, we agree.  Have been in meetings last 2 weeks, we have went over the following features. 2 facto auth, centralized and decentralized, Multi Sig Escrow, using multi-wallet, decentralized exchange/ multiwallet.  A few of these features are now showing up in other coins.  We are reaching out to a few other coin devs about integrating features into SHLD.

IRC
Many discussions about investors room, some of you might have noticed SHLD now holds an invite only area on the freenode servers, in channel ##SHIELD, currently the channel #shieldcoin is registered to the old devs, and attempts to regain control of it continue.  The new main public channel will be #SHLDCOIN (currently not in use but registered )

PROGRAMMER MAIN AND OUTSOURCE:
Been in a few conversations with other devs about getting some direct help with adding their features to SHLD coin. (mentioned above)
Right now SHLD's budget is 0.000000, however; we do hold a few SHLD to cover bounties etc.  BTW, bounties are killing us, but without something nothing would get done at all.  The main programmer has not been bothered, and been put on hold until the web development is done.

SOFTWARE ADMINISTRATOR:
He is on his toes, this guy is ready and working with me when I need help with anything related to program devs.  He doesn't have much to do as we await word from the web dev before enabling more power to the programmers.

WALLETS:
The Mac Wallet is RELEASED! Please take a look at how many coins lack Mac wallets, SHLD is now available on Windows and iOS 10.5+.
builds for phones are coming in the future.

TWITTER
Shield has established a routine schedule of tweeting every few days, we do not want to have SHLD covered in tweets about block tech, shield news only.

SHLD
From here on in in further documents SHLDCoin, will be to used as 'SHIELD' or 'Shield' for the better part.  There is suggestions about using the "S.H.I.E.L.D" theme.  This can not be done due to copy right rules and regulations.  We have figured out a way to use this theme without any sort of copy right infringements.

THE BUDGET
BTC 0.0 SHLD *** (we are currently discussing further news on this mater)

INVEST IN SHIELD DEVELOPMENT

INVESTORS ROOM
A rate of investment towards Shields will be released in the future.  Initial 10% can message me for access to the investor IRC chat.  You might even help decide the future features of Shield. 

[cryptoholic11]

Nice update, shield is coming back!

[RickStoner]

coin relaunches might actually take more effort than the launch...

Loves the site updates ! re-post please.

I know some people might flame our site, it gets updated and it exists,
and it has all the information pertaining to the heart of the shield project.

We will have a .net .org or .com in the future.

Please do not give a hard time to current project effort from volunteered individuals.

no, just finalizing the choice.

road map work is destroying time.

[RickStoner]

There is an issue.... dealing with in the background.  As you seen other Devs run in the wake of fear or a little bad news...

Project issues are going to happen.  Limited on the amount of bodies to finalize decisions.  With that said, work will be done

to correct this issue. 

[RickStoner]

Still have not heard back from the logo design that has been chosen... awaiting his reply.

No Shield coin ever had success in the altcoin world, there were several Shields that tried to launch and every one died.

So do I just move my wallet .dat from the old appdata folder to the new 1.1.0 appdata folder to get my coins back?

[darkproton]

So do I just move my wallet .dat from the old appdata folder to the new 1.1.0 appdata folder to get my coins back?

Copy it. DO NOT JUST move. Always make a backup of your wallet file as well. Haven't installed new wallet so I can't comment on that, just the overall form so to speak of wallet safety.

To Rickstoner and petatl, how are things going? Is there any help needed?

[darkproton]

News? Is shield relaunch over?
Haven't heard anything. Assuming it is. Oh well.

[PetATL]

We are now very busy with project in my work so I dont have time now, I dont know how is Rickstoner...

[chesthing]

I lost a couple btc when this fuckin scamcoin crashed from 60k to 15k in less than a minute. You gotta be kidding trying to reserect this shit. This fucking coin is why I shied away from btcd, which came out the same week. All the worst.

[Zer0p0inT]

i just saw I have a few of these coins left on cryptsy from over the summer, what is the deal with it? Its dead or no? Is dev still active

[cudido]

Why a developer cannot buy SHLD at a discount price now, it develops a little and do resell his shares at a higher price?


The starting point is good, and also the name.

[shieldcoindevs]

Have not gone anywhere.   A few other projects are on the go.

Please understand, that anyone owning shield on shittrex exchange would have had their coins stuck there forever.

It was us that put a node back online, to enable you to move your coins around again.  I hope you put your coins at cryptsy.

Shield coin is in talks with a few other devs, we are talking about shieldcoin 2.0 to protect the circulation.

We are also toying with the idea of entering the gaming industry.

Sorry I do not have much else to tell you.

[darkproton]

Very interesting. Hope the development is going well.

[logocreator]

There is 3 weeks past, and i still didn't receive bounty of 1000 SHLD "shields" for the logo!
Please send bounty to address : Scu8sPQwFMsDi6SSNE7tqKtMyqw4zmPfQB

Now is wallet sync but Cryptsy go down what the hell....

Shield wallet is open to Withdrawal on Cryptsy

No more exchanges for SHIELD?

Exchange we can find but problem is that there is no one with mature coins and wallet online. And cryptsy don't provide minting so we can to create new blocks.
So if any body have mature coins in his wallet, turn it on for our coins can mature too and we can get network back on.
